Could Hypnosis Be The Secret To Improving Your Sex Life?

Easily confused with "erotic hypnosis," sexual hypnotherapy is very different. Per Healthline, erotic hypnosis is a tool to enhance sexual pleasure while engaging in sexual intercourse. Meanwhile, sexual hypnotherapy is done in a professional setting with a clinical hypnotherapist and does not involve any kind of sexual activity. The president and founder of NYC Hypnosis Center, Eli Bliliuos, tells Healthline that "during a hypnotherapy session, the hypnotist is helping you reprogram the subconscious mind."

Hypnotherapy sessions can differ depending on the specific issue at hand and the hypnotherapist's approach to treating it. However, you might encounter various codified methods if you choose to try sexual hypnotherapy. According to Hypnotherapy Directory, some of these techniques include visualizations, affirmations, and relaxation practices. Another common practice they mention is known as "neuro-linguistic programming." With this, the hypnotherapist analyzes your linguistic patterns and works to rewire those causing mental blocks.
